Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine. Always wear: • • • A protective helmet where there is a risk of falling objects Approved hearing protection Approved eye protection Other symbols/decals on the machine refer to special certification requirements for certain markets. Switch off the engine by moving the stop switch to the STOP position before carrying out any checks or maintenance. Wear sturdy, non-slip boots.
Only use non-metallic, flexible cutting attachments, i. e. [. . . ] The elastic strap (B) can be tightened to transfer more load from the shoulder straps to the hip strap.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel safety
Never start the machine: 1 2 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Petrol
3
CAUTION!Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic converter. Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is available.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/ switches or boilers. When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose. When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Always shut off the engine before refuelling. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling. When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.
•
• •
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time. If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
• • •
Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems. Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.
!
WARNING!The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot during and after use. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially when working near flammable substances and/ or vapours.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting Starting and stopping
•
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth.

Note 1: Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (LWA) in conformity with EC directive 2000/14/ EC. Reported sound power level for the machine has been measured with the original cutting attachment that gives the highest level. The difference between guaranteed and measured sound power is that the guaranteed sound power also includes dispersion in the measurement result and the variations between different machines of the same model according to Directive 2000/14/EC.
